Steve Saleen to the rescue!

That's right, Steve Saleen, the former owner of Mustang-tuner and manufacturer Saleen Inc. has announced that his new company SMS Supercars will honor the warranty on any Saleen product purchased before February 2nd, 2009. Now that's standing behind your product!

"The ones who have been left out in the cold are the loyal customers of Saleen products," said Steve Saleen in a statement. "While my new company, SMS Supercars, has no legal or moral obligation to take up any of the warranty claims against Saleen Inc. or MJ Acquisitions, Inc., I would like to make a bold statement on the right way to treat customers."

The news comes roughly a month after Saleen Inc.'s new owner, MJ Acquisitions, announced that it would not support the warranties on Saleen vehicles and parts sold before the Feb. 2nd date.

We predicted in that story that the new Saleen Inc., wouldn't be long for this world and that prophesy seems to be playing out. First MJ Acquisitions scared off all it's customers (and infuriated the Mustang community) and now Steve Saleen has made a move that will likely see all current Saleen product owners driving their American muscle straight into his open arms.

Good for you Steve... I hope his company takes off, and I hope he gets his style back. from 94-04 Saleens were by far the sexiest Mustangs, but in 05 I was very disappointed. It was ok, but didn't have the pop I was used to out of Saleens. It's also good to see he's using his own motors now and not the GT motors. That was what kept me away from owning one.
